Got denied by Werner for driving record.....

####....wth were you thinking i mean i was bad but i wasnt brain dead no offense 2 serious violations like that and school didnt tell you anything? go on CL find a job driving a dumptruck even if its under the table even after the 3 year mark w.e company u apply to may still look beyond the 3 yr mark i know usx did for me

 

No, just a non moving violation last year. I got a light out ticket at a weigh station.

 

Well FWIW, we were all "young and dumb" at one time! Of course some of us just didn't happen to get caught. But you did, and it is going to continue to effect you for a while. I imagine your insurance premiums aren't exactly what could be called "reasonable" right now either.

I think you may be better off to go do something else for a while, until both of these drop off. I know that isn't what you WANT to hear, but I doubt you will get taken on by even an O/O right now.

Also they "young and dumb" statement will go down a bit better once you are not quite as "young" as you are now. At least that's the way I would look at it, if I was hiring someone.

 

UH You are 27???? Well, I would have figured you for 24 or so. Anyway, just keep your chin up and keep trying. AND KEEP THAT RIGHT FOOT LIGHT!

 

That's not always the case. have you tried? Did you go to any of these dump truck companies and apply or ask? Nowadays phone calls and newspaper ads mean nothing, applying in person makes a huge difference. Even if a company doesn't have a ad out that they are hiring might hire you, but you don't know until you apply and see what happens. They might even want you to have experience but people have gotten jobs that require 3yrs experience and only have 6 months. I never drove a roll off in my life only 53' foot trailers with a sleeper cab and it was only for a short time, walked into a place filled out the app and got the job as a roll off driver. I now have one of the 2 best roll offs we have and also pull trailers and drive a tri axle when they need. all I'm trying to say is don't give up and keep trying, you could get lucky.
